Jim Hightower explained the inflation/price increases in his newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown.
You might try his website, but it's the subscription one. One year = 15$, 2 years 27.00
Warning: he is not a tRumpette, so if you are way conservative, you won't like it.

In another major article from another source - possibly the Washington Post - there was a good article. In essence, it said that this (inflation) has happened before, many times, and nothing the government ever tried worked. Nixon "tried", but never got funding.
I suppose the answer is in the hands of the politicians. Any guess who much the Congress will do?
Alaska hasn't reached California gas prices - yet - but the percent of inflation is higher than the government is claiming. Retired and on limited income, and watching our savings melt away.
Here, incontinence pads haven't risen too much much, yet, but the supply is terrible. They can't even cover the holes on the shelves by spreading out the ones they still have, and none of the lower absorbency are on the shelves. In some cases, only the store brands are left, with the same missing absorbancies. So I tried mailorder. Same same, although didn't try Northshore. I just happened to stock when there was one relief in supples, but that's low, now. Wow! Has shipping (post office) risen in price.
Good luck, everyone.
